SPIRIT OF THE PX/1311 YbbIINALS. . - Every sentence which issOts from the political press at this moment bears I*.%tiful testiniony to the crisis nniV af - dieting the nation. There rennet be named s eingle class of the community which does not suffer tinder more than coni -111011 distress. The journeyman manufacturer has been beaten out of work by ptiCes which have enabled the fo reigner to trample over im ; the agricultural labourer is forced to work for half wages; the emintiT getttleman, mortgaged up to the ears, is driven to deaperation by the approaching and inevitable repeal of the Corn Laws ; the capitalist Las no prat fin his money. This conditinn of things, of which all men feel the painful Ssi:Snsequence, leads eachindividual to form his own theory respecting the cause, end to propose a remedy, in the suggestion of which he has 'considered very little beyond its operation upon his own personal grievance, so far as he understands it, di vesting himself of nil care for his eeighbotOs ktenee arises the paztling diversity of schemes for national relief; which armus,t us numerous , and as ISposite, as the points of view be place in society liven which the evil has been conteniplated. There are 'home who-recollect enough of .1m times and circumstances, to be convinced by exited , e that every thing must prosper, if a circulating medi um he abundant, prices high, a n d foreigo goods prohibited. In this delusion the country gentlemen are partners with a considerable portion of the manufacturing body,—that is -IssUye the landtiwners take one half of the doctrine, viz. .shires advantage of overflowing money, with high nominal prices, and enormous rents in its train ; while the other half, namely, that which recommend' a stubborn prohibi tion of foreign goods, is heartily upheld !ay the manufac turer. There seems, however to ,be a small number of " facts forgotten by th em both,' They are equally heedless of the grand difference , between a state of war, which gave England a monopoly of maritime cotnnieret , , and a consequent Command of every market of Which the wants could not otherwise be supplied than by sea; and one of universal peace, which, opening the gates of the ocean to all mankind, makes ivery , merchant-vessel that tsiti swim, no matter under what flag or from what port she may present herself, a, competitor with tN' flag of °Eugland. ' The commercial monooly, end the d eman d s ' a military and naval warf are wh (h spread itself over the whole world, called for an himiense supply of many pro ductions of our industry,. The means Of purchase Por a large amount of these were found' in enormous additions of *lapital thrown yearly into, action in the form of loans, and producing a perpetual and inceCising influx of circulating medium, which served to maintain a scale of prices un known in former times—a rise of rents---a rise of wages— At constant cry for more labourers in every department -- a depreciation of the currency which Was not felts because it acted equally on all classes, the habits and interests of men having gradually adjusted themselves to it. But this :state of things was not maintainable long after the peace had broken up our monopoly of the ocean. The exchan gec were against us with the whole Continent, the , arbi trary power of coining Bunk notes , having been frequetitly. end grossly abused. To get rid of this despotism of the "stinkers, and of the terrible viciasitieles in the value of commodities of which it had been the instrument, a res tornotour old metallic currency was invoked by nine tenths of the nation es the only pledge of a sound and se cure condition. This • was attempted and if, through timidity and want of foresight the principle of Mr. Peel's bill has since been' littered away, mitt paper Still been unduly encouraged, some progress has neverthe . "le•se beets made in restoring us to a level with other statei4uortda•Snbstantial and (hirable standard ofprnperty. T hitt a redundant amp uncertain currency should be redu ced, as well Its comparatively fixed, was a remedy which brought with it partial subjects of complaint. It lowered: prices, and rents, we admit ; but it did riot injure the sales of our munotiwturers,—the peace did that, for such deseriptione'of manufacture as had owed their prosperity. ,to the WaV j bet as to a contraction of the circulating medium, so much railed against by the writers in the two interests of which we, are speak , ing, bow could that be avoided ? Ninon other nations en tered the lists of industry against us, how could the En } lirjlt or the Dank of England, let them t r y for it ever so hard, have kept More money of any kind afloatoban the menet of sales and purchases,. measured by the demands of a universal and open market warranted? The system of monopoly was maintained so long, that it .was found to be more ruinous to English than to foreign induettse. Tt ,helped (minus smuggling) to secure the home, but it; lost its the foreign market, because foreigners became monopoliats likewise. But see the futile and unhappily fetal result of those experiments, which with the : countenatwe both of the ,'shank and the Government, where made to buoy up a paper, circulation at an unna tural. level. The country was,: within these two years, sinking under the pressure of the superincumbent Bank notes, What, followed ? Why, the real transactions of sale and purchase beerieg no proportion to the quantity of paper, it could be no longer upheld. Property was over represented, and the representative of value dwindled of ,necessity, to something near the size of its constituent.— Then, we say, it is physically impossible to enlarge the cur rency, for any length of time, at the mere will and pleasure of the Government, :the. Bank, the manufacturer, or the landlord; a demand for the productions of our industry ,is that on which must depend the amount of those pre-' # ductions„ which again in their turn must , determine the quantity of the coine If the coin be much increased, a sensible; rise of prices must be the consequence; and is . that. the eine we Seek ? Why, Our 'foreign trade al .reedy ,perishes Under the magnitude, of those pricei. There is, however,, a reel connexion . between the two wastiteti of redundant circulation and a prohibition of foreign , goods. If the. circulating, medium be increased, it will confine the sales of British wares to British purchasers, and in that case, there seems nothing for it but to limit the privilege of supply nettle manufacturers of England, which will bring us to that happy and primitive' state of a people trading only with: each other. However, that.such is likely to be our situetion, even without an in crease of the currency, appears obvious, from the evidence of, every merchant ,in Great Britain. A monopoly does, .actually exist at this moment, which bids fair to be the fruitful parent of tehundred others. One class of English 'menufacturers has a monopoly law in its favour, while every other monopoly but that of Leadenhallsareet is banished out of the bruit. - Bread, which decides the price of every ,Other article of consumption, is kept at an unreasonable, and ti tnore unreasonable because a precarious, price; and if 113 i 4 sPOr 0 he not lowered ac well as better defined by Parlitiment, ourseallufectuters will be. fully justified in ex- "claiming, " five rVif , heck .011 r prohibitions."

The. titiAtion of the country is now different in so many respects from what it was when the present Corn Laws were enacted, that no proposition,can be more reesmetble than that it is proper for the Letrisitittite to reconsider and revise them. .Ittlio inatevai, a great diminution of taxa tion hat taken place ; and that single circumstance makes it fitting to examine anew, how far the existing restrictions on the importation of foreign corn may be modified, with safety to those great interests which Parliaitietit to protect, In pnrsithit this iiiijttiry, we hope that Par liament will init lie Ihiluenced by the clamours and paltry sophitinti of those who call for the repeal of the Corn Laws as a measure required by the principles of political eco nomy. Let our Legislators trace minutely and accurately the effects which any proposed dello will produce upon the individuals tind dames who come within the sphere of ita operation,'and the secondary consequences upon hther individuals and classes, which will result from its primary effects; let them follow out these "chains of consequences, till their whole assemblage, and the whole series of operations comprised 10 each of them, are before their view; and shit,, and thus only, let them decide on a question Which is not a dream of theoretical speculation, but a problem of practical prudence. General theorems and abstract reasonings are worth nothing in matters of policy; the study of them niay be indirectly use ful, as a tra,ining i tO enable the mind to analyze and foresee With increased facility the specific results of specific measures under given circumstances; but in no case must they be adopted as a rule of conduct. It is to particular combinations of events. and to particular consequences, that the Statesman must look ; if he relies on general principles and abstract reasonings, be may be fit for suc ceeding Jirougham or Joseph Hume as the Rector of a Scotch College, or a Director of the London University, but he is an unsafe person to have any share in the ma nagement of the concerns of a nation. We have from time to time, exposed many of the blunders of the men who dub themselves politicid economists, inconsequence of their having learned to repeat the rant phrases of the Edinburgi _Review, and of Mr. Lecturer IVlaectilloch ; and who, With the empty : conceit which the knowledge of words and ignorance of things usually produce,presume to dictate to our Ministers the course which they ought to pursue. There is another error, in addition to those we have already pointed out, which insinuates itself into: nearly all the reasonings by which our sages demonstrate (to their own satisfaetion) the necessity of repealing the Corn Laws. The admission of Foreign Corn, they say, will produce a corresponding' increase of our trade; for that corn will be paid for by manufactures and colonial produce; and then, with all the wonder and admiration of men to whom knowledge is new, they enter into en elaborate exposition of the trite truth, that it is : only by means of comMo dities that one country can purchase the commodities of another. We are perfectly willing to concede that the, corn we import will be paid for by an exportation of maH nufactures ; but it is an error to consider that exportation, as an augmentation of our trade; it is merely a substitution of one branch of commerce for another. Suppose, instead of supplying our wants with home-grown corn, a million of quarters of grain were to be imported annually, an in creased importation of goods would be the natural conse quence, or rather the inevitable accompaniment of that state of things. But another species of change would be going on at the same time in by far the most important branch of industry. The imported grain would replace an equal, or nearly equal quantity, of home grain in the mar ket. In that proportion the production:of-the latterwould he lessened,,and the home demand for, and home consump-' tion of, manufactured goods, would fall off. , Our foreign commerce would be augmented, but our home trade would sustain a corresponding diminution. Where, then, would be the gain - even to our manufacturers or our merchants . ? They would not sell a greater quantity of goods ; the only • difference would be, that they would Sell ..for the consumption of Poland and America, what they before sold for the consumption of our own farmers and labourers. Is such a change for their be nelit ? Does a distant foreign commerce afford better and more rapid returns than a near and sure home trade ? While the manufacturer does not gain, the country sus tains a positive lossin opulence and industry. It formerly enjoyed the benefit of both, the production and the con sumption, as well of the million quartera'of grain, as of goods for which that grain was exchanged. But when the - grain is imported; it has only the. production of the manufactures, and the consumption of the corn ; the pro duction of the corn, and the consumption of the manufac tures, are removed to a foreign land. Such a change is an evil, to which, under extraordinary circumstances, and from extraordinary inducements, it might be proper to submit; but that any set of men should think that it ought to be courted us a' blessing, does excite our surprise. We had always conceived, that, even in theory, the wealth and. industry of 'a .eoararrdepend: on the amount of its pro duction and consumption ;• and it was reserved for the modern enemies of the Corn Laws to discover, that to di ntinish .production and consumption is the best mode of promoting the Welfare of it natiod.—Aretti Times. • . LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. IS. HE CASE OF MR. WELLESLEY AND HIS CHILDREN. Mr. SHA nmal, just before-his - Lordship left the Court, adverted to the case of Mr. Wellesley. He understood that judgment was to be given on Monday morning, and be had been instructed to present very important affidavits to his Lordsthip, before the delivery of that judgment. Mr. HART—Another affidavit. By wham is it filed ? Mr. SHADIVELL replied, that it was the affidavit of a Mr. Scott, and the contents of it would be found to be ex tremely impatient. Mr. HART hoped his Lordship would not delay the judgment which had already been so often postponed, and which had been so anxiously looked for by all the parties, on account of this affidavit. If this Were to be permitted, the judgment would be endlessly postponed by stichefic davits. This was not the first or the second time that this scheme had been tried, and found to succeed. Mr. SIIADWELL was well persuaded that his Lordship would not in this ease deviate (rain that principle by which he had unifOrmly been governed, in the investigation of: such cases as these. It was his Lordship's constant prac tice to obtain all the information which could be collected, iirior to the delivery of his final judgment ; and such a crourse was here most peculiarly required. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that Monday next had been appointed specially for the judgment in this case, and nn that day he fully intended to have given it. All PartiPs bad notice, that such was his intention,; hut if affidavits were ready to be fled, affording fresh and k" Mladwell alleged) important information, he could not refus e to hear it. The course he should therefore soggiest, wo od to hear the statement of the affidavit . Monday, • Mr. Mutt earnestly hesonght his Lordship not to listen to these new schemes for delay on the part of these ladies, and to satisfy the inxi ety air immediate judgment. of Mr. Wellesley by'pronouneing repeated, th a t th e COUt he The Lunn CHANczt.L9R, rli meant to pursue was, to hear the affidavit on iktonday, and on Tuesday to pronounce, his final judgment. ' Sittowt:LL felt satisfied that b,is, Lordship would .., . . pursue such a course, a Course consistent with justice ann , the interests ofoll.parties. On Monday he could die ready 'with hit affidavit: Lonn tAIANCELLOR thought that affidavit, what ever it Was, should be shown to the other side, and a copy of it ought to be furnished. Mr. HART had no notice of the contents of this im portant affidavit, a. 4 it . was calk& Mr' Stlitbiqii proMised 10 comply with his Lord shipis directions. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had never, in the whole course of his _judicial life, met with a case so im portant, so difficult, or so painful—and to him it was most peculiarly painful, because it was impossible for him to forget; that not tht interests of Mr. Wellesley and his family were here concerned, but those of almost every fa mily in the kingdom depended upon his decision. _Under such circumstances, was it not his duty% to be peculiarly careful to obtain the fullest information before he ventur ed to pronounce his final judgment ? Notwithstanding, thereforq tho delay which might be oc c asioned, he should receive Mr. Shadwell s s affidavit on Monday. Mr. HART was at a loss to conjecture when and where. this would end. On Tuesday, he sur?osed, some other affidavit would be interposed, to drive the judgment off to Tuesday sennight. The LORD CHANCELLOR added, that although his pre sent intention was to, give his judgment on Tuesday, yet he would not pledge himself not to call for further infor mation after this fresh affidavit had been presented, if the case called for it. A case like the present could not be too thoroughly investigated, and the necessity of it was shown by the additional matters which arose out of the original affidavits in the first instance stated to the Court ; and those new affidavits, from their nature, could not have been before presented. If, therefore, no further information would be required after Mr. Shadwell's affidavit had been stated on Monday, he would, without fail, deliver his judgment on Tuesday morning. llis LORDSHIP, who had been standing during this con versation, immediately afterwards left the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--A poor man named Elliott, about six feet six inches in height, and as thin as Don Quixote, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Mary Duke, a lady much about half as high as himself, but about four times as bread. The contrast, when the parties were exhibited before the LORD MAYOR was such, that no person could refrain from laughing. The wan glided through the crowd like an eel, but Mrs. Duke required the assistance of all the officers to make way for her. Mrs. Duke then deposed, that she got her living by selling cab bages, apples, and "suchlike things," about the street, and the defendant hail the honour of dragging a truck, and the assault she complained of was, that the defendant did; on a certain day named, in a place called Angel-alley, " rageously" thrust his truck against her person ; and she called two witnesses to prove the fact, and one of them added that the defendant had added in sult to injury, fur when remonstrated with, and asked why he' pulled the truck against the woman, he replied, " A woman, she' is not like a woman—she's as big as a seventy-four." Mr. Elliott, in his defence, put in various pleas; the first was, that Angel-alley was so narrow, and Mrs. Duke so broad, that it was impossible her and his truck could pass, one another without coming in contact: Secondly, Mrs.' Duke was blocking up the way, by standing talking in .the court with three or four others, although she herself was quite sufficient to formta blockade ; that he:Warned . them to get out of the way, but they would not, and therefore he Was compelled to go on. Lititly, that he was assisted in the dragging of his truck .by a ,fine large strong dog, who, when he was so inclined, would .go pn pulling the truck, whether defendant liked it or not. Ergo, from this plea, that if any assault was committed, it was committed by the dog, and pot by the defendant. The witnesses, howevrr, all swore 'again that the defendant did " rageously and liciintely" thrust the truck against the fat lady, and the defendant refusing to make her any resompence, was, con signed to the gaoler, until he could procure bail, or make his peace with the fat lady, MARYLEBONE.—Saturday, the Stewards of a Benefit So ciety, entitled the "Friendly Brothers," were summoned to this Office, before Messrs.- RA IV LINSON and HosoiNs, to ehetv cause why they refused to grant the benefits of the Society to John Wells, ,an elderly man, a. member of the Society. •. The complainant stated, that, 'in consequence of indisposition, be was obliged to declare on the funds of the Society. He was in the habit of receiving a weekly aunt for his support ; but in consequence of being seen carrying a small bundle by one of the Stewards, they discontinued his weekly allowance, and struck his name off the Society. Mr. fiAwttston asked Wells how long he had been a member of the Society._ Wells replied, upwards of 15 years, - and he had paid them at the rate of Si. a year, without claiming their assistance until lately. Mr. liawrANsow said, the Society • had been receiving the money of the complainant for 15 years, and now, because there was a probability of his getting some of it back, they wanted to get rid of him, and yet they presumed to call themselves " Friendly Brothers." Have you anything else to prove against him? Steward-1 think we have proved enough. Mr. RA wunsoti—Then we think differently, and unless you reinstate the complainant immediately, you shall be indicted at the Sessions. On Saturday William Wilson alias William Flood, a misera ble old man, was brought before Mr. Reeking, charged by the lion. Mr. Clifford with having attempted to extort money from him by a false representation. The Hon. Mr. Clifford stated, - that on Tuesday last he received by the post a begging letter, signed a William Mood," and tha following certificate These arc to . certify that'William.Flood has been under the care of Dr. Black for the last three months, and his complaint is cured, but he is in a very weakly state. Understanding he wishes to return to Devonshire, and bdizving him to be in very distressed circumstances, I consider him to be a very 'worthy ob ject of charity....Glven under my hand at Guy's Hospital, this 8d November, 1826: J. Baowatt, Steward." Mr. Clifford Was disposed to relieve him, hut, to guard against imposition, he went to Guy's Hospital for the purpose of inquir ing into the truth of the statement; when he got there he found the certificate was a forgery ; that no such person as Wm. Flood had been a patient there, nor was he known by the steward, or any other individual. Ile was sent to the New Prison, Clerkenwell, and is to be brought up again on Tuesday for another examination. LAMBETII-STREET.—Saturday a dirty, drabbisb, little cyprian, named Sarah Newmtjn, was brought up in custody of Foster, charged with robbing a melancholy looking master of a ship, named Clarke, of 1701. in cash and bank notes. From Mr. Clarke's statement it app eare d , t h at on M on d ay wee k h e me t t h e prisoner in llateliff I I i g h way, a nd. accompanied herto her resi dem in Dock -street. • Another votary of Venus came in and knocked down the candle ; when both of them assailed and rifled his pockets of a large sum of money, which he had that morn ing received at a banking-house in Lombard-street. In reply to some questions from Mr. Hardwick, the infOrtunato i tar said, that he wa s conv i nced he bail the money about him, as he had counted ki w s previous to falling in with the prisoner; and as to her identity, h e would shear to her among a cargo of her kind. Foster, the officer, . aaid, that so accurate was the prosecutor's description of the culprit, that he knew her at once. Mr. Ha anwicit observed,, that it being of consequence to have the evidence.of some person who bad seen them in company, he wo uld ' in " i "o Procure it, remand the prisoner to another day. MA III.IIO ROUGH-STREET.—Three youths of respectable arltratan ce, named Henry Pink, Charles Keik,inci.lanies Anger, the oldest not above 14 ye ars of age, and the youngest not more than 10, were charged with a variety of robberies upon as great a variety of persons.. It Appeared that the two first named boys were in the service, one at apprentice, and the other as errand-boy, of Messrs. Stroud and Lincoln, hatters, in Sat:keine-street, Pic cadilly, and the last named youth, an apprentice with Mr. (ler. rord, also a hatter in Piccadilly. Mr. Lincoln having for some time pant frequently mi me d property of dilferent kinds from his house, suspected the ho nest y of Pink, the apprentice, and men tioning his suspicions to Kelk, the other Mt he asked him wha t he thought on the subject. Kelk, thus consulted, at once confess ed that Pink was a thief) and tbas he himself, at the instigation of Pink, was a thief also. Mr. Lincoln now sent for Clemente, the officer, who, on searching Pink's boa, found abundant proof not •• , • • only that the boy was a thief, but that he did nod cob a his de predations to his employers alone, for the box contained fief 6ify hats in a finished and unfinished state, but a collection of rani* knives, snuff , boxes, books, boot-hooks, &c. &c. Pink, thus de teeteci, mile itiatie a etitifeasion of his guilt, and gave a full explana lidti Spaeth df ibbbeiiea carried On by himself and the other tiitt Keik mid liiibeeif, he stated; made it a rule when ever they went to any shop or gentleman's house td deliver hats, or on any other business, to lay hold privately of any article of property within their reach, and put it into a bag which they carried. They were frequently sent on business to the hat maim factory of Messrs. Bowler and Co., in the Borough, and on those tketialohs they alvirayi trtabaged to bring away some " roughs"- - unfinished hats. Whenever they passed through Exeter 'Change, they made sure to lay contributions upon Mr. Clarke, ill the way of knives, razors, &c. From the house of a Mr. Powel•they put- , loined a silver snuff -box ; and even Secretaries of State could not escape them, for Pink contrived to carry off, on a visit be made to the house of Mr. Planta, a beautifully morocco-bound Bible. The hats which Pink and his companions managed to steal from Mr. Bowler and others were always deposited at a certain house in Swallow-street, where the third person, Anger, called and took them away to dispose of as he could, so that he was the receiver and agent in the business. The case was fully supported by evidence, and several witnesses having identified the property protium!, the three prisoners were committed for trial. • LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
